What does "waiving consecutive interpretation" mean as stated at the United Nations? N.H, Medford.

A Because of the grave nature of U.N. Security Council meetings, that body has adopted a rule whereby i every speech or comment made is translated into both French and English by the official interpreter. This interpreter records every word which a delegate says in his particular language and after that' delegate has spoken, the statement is translated to the entire council Besides this consecutive translation, other interpreters provide a simultaneous translation which delegates listen to through earphones. To save time and for the sake of debate, delegates often waive the right to have the official translation read before the council and thus rely entirely on simultaneous interpretation. Hub Dapper O'NeiFs 1st Love NIXON AND MOSHE DAYAN (UPI) Nixon to Meet Israeli Chief Former Vice President Richard M.

Nixon was scheduled to meet Prime Minister Levi Eshkol in Jerusalem today on his "fact finding" tour of Israel.

Where did the words "ketchup" and "catsup" come from? Is one spelling a corruption of the other? Also, what is the preferred pronunciation? Back Bay.

A "Ketchup" comes from the Chinese word "ke-tsiap" meaning a pickled fish sauce containing tomato. Eventually, the word became associated with the tomato sauce which we know today. "Catsup" is merely a different spelling of and the preferred pronunciation of both words is "ketchup." By GLORIA NEGRI Dapper "Dapper" O'Neil may or may not end up a winner in Boston's September mayoral primary, but he swears he'll marry the girl he's been dating 21 years, anyhow. "Her name's Helen and she's a beautiful Polish girl," Dapper said other day as he was blitz-kreiging employees in the new State Office Building in old Scollay looking for votes. Dapper and Helen have been dating these many years but Dapper keeps wanting to get into politics "and Helen hates politics with a passion." Sic transit Helen? Dapper is Albert "for Leo the Lion," he says O'Neil and he Is a member and former chairman of the Boston Licensing Board.

He is 47 and a Democrat out of "The Last Hurrah." "I got the name 'Dapper' I was about five because my mother insisted my brother and me always be meticulously dressed," Dapper said. Dapper got his start in politics in Roxbury as a lad of 13 working for the candidacy of a man who was running for sheriff. In later years, he worked 10 years for former Gov. Peabody. His only previous try for public office was against Rep.

Charles Iannello, (D Roxbury). "I beat Charlie in a sticker campaign, but I was defeated in the recount," says Dapper modestly. Dapper says he wants to be mayor of Boston "because I love the place." His bete noir the man he wants most to beat is Boston's Redevelopment Chief, Edward J. Logue. He refers to the rebuilding of Boston as, "that alleged renewal program," and to the Boston Redevelopment Authority as "that bunch of bums with beards." "I'd like to see how many votes Logue would get out of there," says Dapper.

"None of them are eligible to vote. They all come from places like California and West Vir- DUKE OF WINDSOR 1 Could you please explain how you can get sail-. ing lessons on the Charles River during the Summer? Who can take them? How much is it? P.E., Waltham. A Community Boating, 21 Embankment on the I Charles, offers sailing lessons and the use of a fleet of 45 15-foot sailboats for members. Sailing memberships are open to young people and adults.

Junior memberships, boys and girls from 12 to 18, are only $1 a season. Senior memberships start at $15 for 30 days. Board, or, just plain, "Hi, Dap," because they'd known him a long time. He'd answer, "Hi, Jimsy," or "God bless you, I've known you since you were this high." Dapper extended a big hand to a rather fright- enel-looking man in a trench- coat in the courthouse eleva- tor and asked him, "Where you from, my man." Answered the man, "Bea- con Hill." Replied Dapper, "God bless you. Remember me." Dapper dashed around the courthouse shaking hands with people knew and people he didn't know-like the defendants or the plain- tiffs and people with band- ages around their heads! He found some girls who had been before him at the Li- censing Board and greeted them like long-lost friends.

"Here's another hood that I know," Dapper remarked as he went forward, smiling and hand outstretched to one man. "I hope your troubles are all small ones." Dapper campaigned with relish. "I've waited a long time for this and I'm not go- ing to be a lazy candidate," he said, as he dashed from person to person. "But, I'm from New Hamp- shire," one woman protested. "How are things in New Hampshire?" asked Dapper.

"Same as they've always been," said the woman. "Hello, handsome," another woman addressed Dapper, who keeps his silver-gray hair slicked back neat. Dapper lives in Roslindale with a sister and a niece at 4354 Washington st. Says William Davison, one of Dapper's men, of him, "I'm with Dap because if Dap tells you something, you know he means what he says." Helen take heed. MONDAY Barry Hynes.

Average speed then was 10 knots per hour, compared with 18 knots today. ginia and Europe and what's wrong with all the talent we have right here in Boston?" Dapper is amazed that Logue refers to him as "a fun person." "He's always run from me," Dapper says of Logue. "Once I almost grabbed him at city hall and another time, I offered $10 for his train trip back to New Haven. But, Logue can't escape me now.

I'll go after him at rallies." Says Dapper, ''This B.R.A. is nothing but an organization for bankers. They should take all the billions of dollars and concentrate it on rehabilitation, give it to people who want to fix up their places. I went out to North Harvard (a controversial renewal area) one morning and so help me God, it broke my heart to see women and kids being dragged out of their houses.

If he became mayor, says Dapper, he will "take the oath with the right hand and the Dooley Foundation's work. She said she was determined to return to Nepal and "do something to help." "As a stewardess, I have been serving people for years," she said, "but I don't think I will ever serve anyone who needs my help more than these 165 orphans." Miss Saint will be joining a volunteer program' originated by two Pan American stewardesses who met the late Dr. Doolcy in 1961. More than 100 stewardesses from 15 U.S.

airlines have participated in the program, acting as assistants to full time itaH Logue's resignation with the left." 'I'm trying to find the 'New Boston'," says Dapper, "but I marched in the Charlestown parade and I never saw such patch jobs and potholes." Dapper has a beef with the welfare set-up and the poverty programs, too. "I was born and raised right smack in Roxbury and these ABCD's and other programs are nothing but a gimmick for high-salaried positions. Welfare is out of hand. Come the 1st and 15th of each month and everything's in such a turmoil you can't move around for all the people waiting for their checks on the corner. "I guess you can describe me," added Dapper for public edification, "as part Don Quixote and part Robin Hood." Dapper really looked dapper during his whirlwind campaigning the other day.

A blue silk handkerchief peeked out of his jacket pocket and he wore his hat at a jaunty angle "It's an Italian Borsalino Stetson," said Dapper smoothing it lovingly. "The best you can get." Dapper went from the State Office Building to the Superior Court building in Pem-berton sq. and met a lot of friends.

A This message was developed last year by the Group (Westinghouse) station in Baltimore in cooperation with the mayor there. It is intended to strengthen parents' sense of responsibility for the actions of their children, and thus forestall the possibility of teen-agers drifting into situations where police action becomes necessary.
